Swift 4

In your info.plist under LSApplicationQueriesSchemes add 

<string>linkedin</string>, then in your code just add

let webURL = URL(string: "https://www.linkedin.com/in/yourName-yourLastName-yourID/")!

let appURL = URL(string: "linkedin://profile/yourName-yourLastName-yourID")!

if UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(appURL) {
    UIApplication.shared.open(appURL, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
} else {
    UIApplication.shared.open(webURL, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
}

This linkedin company url scheme is working for me

  • linkedin://company?id={company-id}

This objective c code trys to open linkedin company page in linkedin app and fall backs to a modal webview presenting company web page. 

/* try to open linkedin app with company url */
if (![[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"linkedin://company?id=2589010"]]) {
    /* Unable to open linked app, present web page with url @"https://www.linkedin.com/company/sesli-sozluk" */
    ...
}

You can find your "company id" in the source code of your company page on linkedin. Search for "company-id" or "companyId", it is in a hidden input field.

It seems the correct format is "linkedin://companyName/companyId"
